I germinated my Ecuadors on agar, and they came out really cottony. I then transfered them to new dishes and it turned rhyzomorphic. I would say take the cottony jars (when they are close to fully colonized) and pour small amounts into new jars. Then you can expand your grain and most likely get a nicer mycelium.

All I ever grow now is Ecuadorians. In my experience with over 50 jars now, it has always been like that. In the spots of innoculation there will be very fine cotteny mycellium, but then some time after about 2 or 3 days it all turns rhyzomorphic.

But I'm not quite sure whether or not the mycellium that is already there is neccessarily turning rhyzomorphic or that simply the rhyzomorphic mycellium that was already there but not seen yet is just beating out the tomentose cotteny mycellium and overtaking the medium.

THANKS YOU GUYS! psilocyber your site is soooo pretty, what a classy joint hey in a thread just above this one "Lana" says i could spray "lightly" some hydrogen peroxide on my mycelium just in case of contams!?!? i thought for sure even spraying water on the white stuff would mess it all up? whats the deal fellas?

That what I'm wondering Candy, I've got the same deal here....and I've also got a pic but i can't quiet get it to work. Its larger than 20kb, and I tryed to use my ftp, but its not taking it. Damn it!!!
